1) Troy Calhoun not starting Hammond. It was a different game with him.
2) Our Fullbacks – some tough yards today.
3) Our defense – making plays at critical points. Kept AF scoring to their lowest this season.
4) Kelvin Hopkins to Asberry connection – key plays when needed.
5) John Abercrombie - without him, we could have lost 2 out of last 3 games.
6) Jeff Monken and his staff. What a turn-around. What a leader.

First time beating Air Force in back-to-back seasons in 40 years, first time retaining the CIC (and an opportunity to win it outright) ever, oh, and the team might win 11 games in a season for the first time in program history. AND an opportunity to be the best Service Academy team in 20 years and the best Army team in 50, maybe even 60 years.
